A maker of railcar equipment is coming to Henrietta and is expected to create 44 jobs. Rolen-Jinxin is a joint venture of companies from Spain and China.

They have chosen a site in West Henrietta to locate their first U.S.-based operation.  The company makes interior parts and other equipment for railcars.

Rolen-Jinxin will create production, engineering and management jobs at the West Henrietta location.  Empire State Development has offered tax credits worth up to $600,000.  Monroe County is also offering incentives.  The total project cost is close to $1 million.

A company official, managing director David Parr, says that Rolen-Jinxin will provide components for New York railway suppliers.

The company will be using existing warehouse space on Becker Road. It’s expected the renovation project will be completed by September.
